How often do you feel like a whole week has passed, yet you've accomplished very little and feel overwhelmed? Michael and I experienced this on a weekly basis about five years ago and decided to take action. Our game changer – family meetings. Every Sunday, we come together to discuss the most valuable aspects of our lives. Our family meetings include: 1. 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫. A simple but powerful thing to do to strengthen our relationship.  2. 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩. We typically discuss takeaways from the relationship book we’re currently reading, something we appreciate about each other, and leave space for any crucial conversations that need to be had.  3. 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬. This was crucial for tackling our $120k of debt in 2.5 years and is still important to discuss often.  4. 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬. This is key for enhancing our focus on the right things and effectiveness with the work we’re putting in.  5. 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐮𝐩𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤. This ensures support where it’s needed and helps us keep balance as best as possible. These meetings may seem simple, but they have kept us grounded and enabled us to address challenging topics regularly. If you're single, consider adapting these practices for personal reflection and growth. #Family #Productivity #Relationships #Entrepreneurship

Had a great time speaking at an entrepreneurial summit in Dallas last weekend with Michael. Our message was simple: commitment is key. In today's world, it's easy to give up when things get uncomfortable or boring with 1,000 things trying to steal our attention and energy. But those who commit to their goals and see them through are the ones who succeed. Commitment means following through, even when it's tough. Michael and I have faced challenges and days when we didn't feel like putting in the effort, but our commitment to our goals and desired lifestyle kept us going. We're not perfect, but we let commitment and responsibility dictate our actions at least 90% of the time. Are you letting your feelings control your decisions? Take a moment to reflect on the goals you set for yourself and see if there's something you can do to increase your commitment. Remember, success comes to those who stay committed. #entrepreneurship #commitment #goals #challengethenorm

3 years ago today, I stepped out of working professionally as a PA and into life as a full-time person, part-time entrepreneur. Having never taken a business class in my life I honestly never believed I could create success in the business world. Organic chemistry, physiology, pharmacology, you bet… but running a business not so much. Michael and I started our side ventures initially to help accelerate paying off the $120k of debt I piled on from grad school but after tackling that in 2.5 years we truly started to believe in ourselves. If you haven’t read the book Hidden Potential by Adam Grant I’d highly recommend it. We ALL have more potential than we’re letting ourselves go after. We often just need to surround ourselves with more encouragement and be willing to put in more work. We committed to hustling in our 20s to create the life and choice we wanted in our 30s and boy am I grateful. Over the last 3 years, we’ve welcomed our 2 little girls into the world, traveled more than we ever had before, built a new home, and grew our impact through giving and mentoring with MKB Development Group. Really looking forward to what the next 3 years have in store. It’s never too late to change your habits, association, financial mindset, etc and really set yourself up for the life you want. What changes are you focused on making this year, this month, and today? It's time to challenge the norm. #challengethenorm #entrepreneur #physicianassistant #healthcare #sidehustle
